Because we like the number one
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – December 1, 2010 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that following a recent reading of its horoscope, it has decided to release 101-in-1 Sports Party Megamix™ for Wii™, a collection of one hundred and one family-friendly, addictive sports-themed mini games, on January 11, 2011.
“Really, we couldn’t be happier with our decision to release the game on 1/11/11.” said Aram Jabbari, chief isophenist for Atlus. “It’s the most one-derful day of the year,” he added, eyes gleaming manically with the force required to shoehorn that pun into an official press release.

Captain America: Super Soldier details
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo Power…
– Not a port of the PS3/360 versions
– Made specifically for Wii
– Over-the-top cartoonish graphics
– Focuses on Wiimote gameplay
– High Voltage is the developer
– Takes place during World War II
– Captain America is infiltrating a castle that Hydra has made into its base
– Enemies from the comic books in the game including Lady Hydra
– Aim at your target with the Wiimote pointer
– Tap a button to throw Captain America’s signature weapon
– Times slows down when you hold the C button
– Captain America can paint numerous targets at once in this mode
– When you release the button, shield thrown automatically and goes from target to target, which stuns/knocks down enemies
– Can hide behind the shield if someone is attacking you
– If an enemy is firing a submachine gun, hold the block button and then use the pointer to point back at the enemy, bullets will deflect back where the pointer is facing
WiiSpeak can be bought “at limited retail locations,” High Voltage on not supporting the peripheral in Conduit 2
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
“The Wii Speak microphone is still available at limited retail locations. Additional shipments can be made if consumer demand increases.” – Nintendo statement
“Honestly, it boils down to this: the firmware required to support the PDP headset is incompatible with Wii Speak. We had to decide which one device to support. Sadly, we knew either route was likely to tick off some of our fans. So, we chose to support the best option for gameplay. And at the end of the day, the headset peripheral is more in line with what we believe our fans and first shooter players want/expect.” – Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage
In this case, I definitely see where High Voltage is coming from. I would much rather communicate through a headset rather than WiiSpeak when playing a first-person shooter. How about you guys?
